Xie Hongbo
The word 'thank' touched Gu Xi's nerves.
Sure enough, the next second, Gu Shao added in a low voice, "Gu Yaobai's biological father."
Although he had a vague premonition, but hearing Gu Shao's words, Gu Xi still widened his eyes in surprise.
—Is this the terrifying big man behind the novel
The appearance of the other party was a little different from what Gu Xi imagined—in her consciousness, she had naturally given the big shot the image of green face and fangs, but she didn't expect that the other party was like this, she looked like walking around in the park. The ordinary uncle is no different.
At most, it just looks tough, and the eyes are still clear.
Gu Xi frowned slightly.
At this time, Xie Hongbo in the living room obviously noticed the father and daughter who had returned home, stood up from the sofa with crutches, and looked at Gu Shao and Gu Xi.
Seeing the other party looking at him, Gu Xi was startled, shivered suddenly, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Gu Shao's sleeve and wanted to retreat behind Gu Shao.
However, he gritted his teeth, and the next second, Gu Xi paced out from behind Gu Shao again, and then blocked in front of Gu Shao, making a gesture to protect Gu Shao.
Gu Xi's movements were very small, and the people next to her didn't notice anything, but Gu Xi's small movements, her every move, fell into Gu Shao's eyes exactly.
Looking at Gu Xi who was standing a little in front of him and only reached his arm position, Gu Shao laughed secretly, but there was a touch of warmth in his heart.
Xie Hongbo over there opened his mouth at this time, smiled and said to the old man Gu: "Haha, this is the granddaughter you found."
"Yeah, his name is Gu Xi, and he has been with the two boys in our family for a year." Old Man Gu also explained with a smile, and when he mentioned Gu Xi, he couldn't hide the joy and show off in his eyes.
Xie Hongbo nodded, looked at Gu Xi, and praised: "It's very similar to your wife's facial features, this child looks smart."
Hearing someone complimenting his granddaughter, no matter who the other party is, Old Man Gu was very happy, waved his hand again, and pretended to be modest: "Shrewd is shrewd, but very naughty."
"Naughty is also a child's nature. It's good to be naughty." After that, Xie Hongbo paused, then looked at Mr. Gu jokingly, and asked, "The sycamore tree at your door was planted for her, right?"
"As expected of a teacher, you can see it all." Old Man Gu said with a smile.
…
Over there, the two old men were talking and laughing, but here, Gu Xi looked confused.
This…
Are you sure it's Xie Hongbo? Xie Hongbo, who had a grudge against the Gu family in the past, and who will also die in the future
Why do you feel that the dialogue between the two people is very friendly and harmonious
It wouldn't be the way she opened the door today, would it
Gu Xi silently muttered in her heart: I feel that the aura that I have been waiting for can't find any use at all.
"Go in." At this time, Gu Shao dragged Gu Xi into the living room and came to the front of Old Man Gu and Xie Hongbo.
Mr. Gu introduced Xie Hongbo to Gu Xi: "This is an old acquaintance of our family. Xixi calls out Mrs. Xie."
Old Master Gu subconsciously emphasized the word 'old knowledge'.
Hearing Mr. Gu's words, Xie Hongbo waved his hand with a smile, and said, "What's your name, sir, we are both teachers and friends, I don't say much older than you in terms of age, just call Grandpa Xie. "
"That's fine, let's call Grandpa Xie." Old Man Gu smiled, but he secretly 'bah' in his heart - this old guy came to their Gu family and wanted to take advantage of his seniority, hum, 'Grandpa' he didn't want Gu Xi Call.
Although Gu Xi was a little confused about the 'plot' in front of her, she still kept a smile on her face when she heard what Old Man Gu said, and asked Xie Hongbo, "Hello, Grandpa Xie."
"Okay, okay." Xie Bohong nodded, then looked at Gu Shao next to Gu Xi: "Shao Xiaozi has been missing for a while."
"I didn't have time to visit." Gu Shao replied, saying hello.
Xie Hongbo continued to say to Gu Shao in a caring tone: "By the way, you made the search system that was sent before, right? The above is very appreciated."
After a pause, Xie Hongbo smiled again: "A few of our old guys were joking when we were chatting before, that with the new search system, the old search method in the past will probably be eliminated."
"It's just my job." Gu Shao replied without arrogance.
The conversation between the two seems to be normal, but in fact there are pitfalls everywhere.
Gu Xi has been secretly paying attention to Xie Hongbo, and finally saw a sharpness in Xie Hongbo's calm and peaceful eyes at this time.
While speaking, Xie Hongbo seemed to show some momentum, but Gu Shao did not lose at all in terms of momentum.
Just a few short conversations, it seems that the wind and the waves are calm, but unfortunately, there is always a feeling that the storm is about to come.
In harmony, there is an indescribable disobedience.
Seemingly aware that Gu Qinghua, the granddaughter, was looking at him, Xie Hongbo looked at Gu Xi and smiled kindly, but there was a glimmer of light and darkness in his eyes, in a corner that Gu Xi could not perceive.
Gu Shao's eyes were slightly cold, he patted Gu Xi's head, and said, "Go up and do your homework."
"Well, I'm done." Gu Xi subconsciously refused. In fact, she really wanted to continue to observe what the 'big enemy' of the Gu family would do here.
As a result, he heard Gu Shao say again: "Then go to endorse." There was sternness in his voice.
"Oh." Knowing that the resistance was ineffective, Gu Xi had no choice but to respond, obediently holding her schoolbag and going upstairs.
—
Seeing Gu Xi's figure disappearing on the second floor, Xie Hongbo withdrew his gaze, sat back on the sofa, and continued the previous conversation with Mr. Gu.
However, at this time, there was another Gu Shao in the living room.
Xie Hongbo first said to Gu Shao: "Children, don't take it too seriously as an adult. You should relax and combine work and rest. Why do you treat the child as your Gu family's subordinates are in charge?"
"Old Xie is joking, there are a few small businesses in the Gu family, where are there any subordinates?" Gu Shao replied calmly.
While speaking, Gu Shao glanced at the direction of the second floor. From Gu Shao's angle, he could just see the position of the railing on the second floor. At this time, Gu Xi did not obediently go back to his room to read a book, but secretly picked up Behind the railing on the second floor, he looked like he was eavesdropping.
Meeting Gu Shao's gaze, Gu Xi shrank her neck guiltily.
Gu Shao gave Gu Shao a warning glance, but Gu Xi still refused to leave, just stuck out her tongue, and then smiled at Gu Shao with a clear meaning.
Gu Shao was helpless and withdrew his gaze.
When meeting his own questions, Gu Shao answered meticulously, and Xie Hongbo had no choice but to end the previous topic, and turned to gossip with Mr. Gu.
Ordinary small talk, but hidden secrets everywhere.
As if thinking of something, Xie Hongbo suddenly said to Mr. Gu with emotion: "I envy you kid."
However, Old Man Gu waved his hand pretending to be puzzled, and said, "What do I have to envy about this?"
"I envy your son and grandchildren. You were all sons before, but now you have a granddaughter." Xie Hongbo sighed, and the look in his eyes seemed to really envy Mr. Gu.
Hearing this, a sneer flashed in Old Man Gu's eyes, but he replied calmly, "Hey, what's so envious of this, these kids are ineffective, and I don't know how irritating they are every day. Say I'm here. , I also envy the teacher, you are growing stronger as you age."
"What does it mean to be old and strong? I don't know how long I can last with this body. Besides, all four of you have married and started a business, and each of them has developed well. To say that you can't be successful is to be too modest."
After a pause, Xie Hongbo held his beard again and said, "It's not like me, a lonely person who only gets bored in his later years."
As soon as Xie Hongbo's words came out, Old Man Gu didn't show his face, and he didn't know how many 'old ancestors' he had greeted him.
Gu Xi, who was hiding upstairs, was puzzled when she heard Xie Hongbo's words.
- The Gu family has already publicly clarified that Gu Yaobai is not the biological son of the Gu family. Although the whole thing is not as popular as the entertainment star gossip, it has also spread a lot in the circle. Unless this Xie Hongbo is still using 2G network, it is impossible not to know that he even said that Mr. Gu has four sons.
Moreover, that Gu Yaobai was clearly his own son, but Xie Hongbo actually said that he was alone, which was shameless.
Gu Xi was puzzled here, while Xie Hongbo downstairs recalled many past events with Mr. Gu.
Until it was almost time for dinner, Mr. Gu warmly invited Xie Hongbo to have dinner at home, but was declined by the other party.
After several attempts to keep him in vain, Mr. Gu had to say goodbye cordially to the other party, and sent Xie Hongbo to the car with courtesy and thoughtfulness, except for a warm hug.
A beautiful picture from an old friend.
Gu Xi squatted upstairs and secretly watched the two people's enthusiasm, and 10,000 complaints were already flying in her mind.
"Oscar owes each of you a golden statuette." Gu Xi whispered.
- Originally, when she knew that the person who came was Xie Hongbo, Gu Xi silently beat herself up countless times in her heart, and then she mustered up the courage and was ready to show the momentum of 'thousands of troops attacking the city' and Mr. Gu There is also Gu Shao who agreed with the outside world and resolutely defeated Xie Hongbo.
As a result, the situation where the sword was drawn did not appear in the imagination, and the words she had planned to use to scold Xie Hongbo and to fight each other were also useless.
If Gu Xi hadn't read the novel and knew that Xie Hongbo was the boss behind the scenes who always wanted to harm the old man Gu and destroy the Gu family, he would have thought that the old man who came to the house today was a kind-hearted old man who was a close friend of the old man Gu.
Gu Xi complained frantically in her heart, but did not notice when Gu Shao had gone upstairs and came behind her.
"The world of adults is very complicated. Sometimes seeing is not necessarily believing." Gu Shao said, which can be regarded as a lesson for Gu Xi.
Hearing Gu Shao's voice suddenly, Gu Xi was taken aback.
"Ah! Dad, when did you come up?" Gu Xi winked at Gu Shao with a guilty conscience and asked stupidly.
The father and daughter looked at each other for ten seconds, and Gu Xi was defeated.
"Well, I just don't worry, so I am lying in ambush here, staring at Xie Hongbo at any time. If he dares to do something to Grandpa and you, I will rush down to save you."
Hearing Gu Xi's explanation, Gu Shao's mouth twitched: They two adults, still need Gu Xi, a little girl with thin arms and legs to save them
Then again…
"The kind of thing in your mind won't happen," Gu Shao said. In particular, meaningless violence.
"Why?"
"Because Xie Hongbo is not that stupid."
Gu Xi: "..." Do you mean she is stupid
"That's another problem."
"Ok?"
"Why did Xie Hongbo say that Grandpa has four sons and that he is a widow? He clearly knows... He is pretending, right?" Gu Xi asked the doubts in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what Xie Hongbo's purpose was for acting stupid.
Gu Shao's eyes sank, and he explained, "Because he has regarded Gu Yaobai as an abandoned son."
"?!" Gu Xi was startled, never expected to hear such an answer.
"Isn't that his own son?" Gu Xi opened her mouth and whispered.
First, she did not expect Xie Hongbo to be so heartless towards her own son, and secondly, she did not expect that Gu Yaobai would be abandoned by Xie Hongbo so quickly.
Seeing the doubts on Gu Xi's face, Gu Shao did not explain it in depth, because further down, knowing the reasons may have a bad influence on Gu Xi, a fourteen-year-old child.
- Xie Hongbo is not Gu Yaobai who just gave up today, but when Gu Yaobai secretly handed over the 'evidence' of Mr. Gu's letters, Xie Hongbo already gave up on him.
Today, Xie Hongbo came to Gu's house, and the purpose of what he said was just to show his position, and to show it to others outside the Gu family.
If you guess correctly, Xie Hongbo is probably already processing the real evidence about the Gu family in his hands at this time, and forging evidence that Gu Yaobai is the child of a defector.
The Gu family said that Gu Yaobai was the child of a friend of Mr. Gu's former friend, so Xie Hongbo turned this 'friend' into a defector who betrayed the country. The other party fled abroad and had to entrust the child to Mr. Gu. What is the evidence? The correspondence between Mr. Gu and his foreign friends over the years is the best evidence.
Gu Shao's eyes flashed coldness, but he put it away when Gu Xi looked over.
"Come down to eat." Gu Shao originally came up to ask Gu Xi to eat.
"Oh." Gu Xi stood up, but shook it, but fortunately caught Gu Shao.
"My legs are numb..." Gu Xi smiled embarrassedly at Gu Shao.
—
When Gu Xi went downstairs, Mr. Gu had already 'kindly' sent Xie Hongbo away.
At the dinner table, Mr. Gu called Gu Xi, "Xi Xi."
"What, Grandpa?"
"The old man who came to our house today..." Mr. Gu was about to say 'the old man is immortal', but after a pause, he changed it to: "That old man surnamed Xie."
"He has nothing to do with our family, nor is he a good friend with me. What you see today is to be polite to the other party. In fact, he is not a good person. Kind of people, you have to be on guard, do you know?"
When Xie Hongbo was gone, the old man Gu quickly explained the real situation to Gu Xi, so that the younger generation should not let down their guard against each other because of the illusion.
It's just that in front of the younger generation, Old Man Gu deliberately paid attention to his words and considered civilized language.
Gu Xi nodded earnestly - although the conversation between Xie Hongbo and the other party and the old man Gu that she saw today was very different from what she originally imagined, she also understood that reality is more complicated than fiction, and sometimes the more she reads The person who looks harmless and smiles with you, the more terrifying the means.

At night, Gu Xi fell asleep.
It was not because Gu Yanxiao and Gu Chenyi secretly brought her too much milk tea when they came back at night, nor was it because of Xie Hongbo.
Gu Xi couldn't sleep because all she thought about was that when she was in the car this afternoon, Gu Shao suddenly said she wanted to find her stepmother.
Although he persuaded himself to agree, when he thought about it again, Gu Xi was still inexplicably blocked, and at the same time, he was still a little uneasy.
Gu Xiwo's eyes widened under the quilt, unable to fall asleep, and finally, she simply pulled out her phone.
Gu Xi originally wanted to go to the forum to post a post to talk to herself, but she was afraid that if her identity information was revealed, it would cause unnecessary trouble to Gu Shao. After all, the other party was also a half public figure.
Talking to others, it seems that I can't find someone to talk to.
At this time, Gu Xi's eyes fell on the Penguin app.
Because WeChat is used most of the time now, Gu Xi rarely uses this penguin account except for occasionally registering for competitions, and there are not many friends added to it.
In the entire list, apart from a few teachers from the training school and accounts that posted game information, there were only one or two people in Gu Xi's friend list, and they were still offline for a long time.
Gu Xi's eyes first saw [AAA] in the list.
This account is the trumpet that Sheng Xiuyan used before.
Since the fall, this account has been abandoned by Sheng Xiuyan and sent to the crematorium forever.
The three-person competition group discussions were also changed to large ones and conducted on WeChat.
Looking at this 'dead' trumpet, Gu Xi's eyes moved, thinking of something, she clicked on the chat dialog box with the other party - the other party's last message was an emoji package sent to her a month or two ago. .
Gu Xi looked at the other party's gray head portrait, and whispered to herself, "I don't need it anyway..." Just enough to be a tree hole for her.
Gu Xi tried throwing an emoji over there first.
no reply.
- It does appear to be 'dead'.
Gu Xi felt relieved and began to 'output' at the tree hole for a while.
[Ah, I'm so annoying! 】
[You know, I feel like my dad wants to find me a stepmother! 】
[I don't really want a stepmother. 】
【Am I wrong? 】
[You don't need to say, I know I'm wrong. 】
[But I'm just bored. 】
[It was I who came to find him and became his trouble. 】
[If it weren't for my drag bottle, my dad would definitely get married and have children and live a happy life. 】
【I thought about possible girls... 】
Gu Xi counted all the people she could think of.
[Xu Bei, I actually don't like her very much. I always feel that at my father's age, it is not good to find someone who can be my sister. 】
[Aunt Meng can't either, I think she likes her boss. 】
【Who will it be... 】
[Do you think the future mother will not like me, will she be dissatisfied with my father because of me? 】Although he complained, there was a hint of timidity in Gu Xi's words.
[I'm so confused, what should I do? 】
…
Mixed with all kinds of broken thoughts and complaints, in just ten minutes, Gu Xi has built 99 high-rise buildings by himself, and there are all kinds of 'dazzling' emojis in the middle.

Sheng Xiuyan on the other end was holding the phone: ? ?
